Shipbuilding takes digital leap with virtual platform to connect entire process
HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering (HD KSOE), the intermediary holding company for HD Hyundai’s shipbuilding business, has signed a definitive agreement with Siemens Digital Industries Software for the implementation of a next-generation marine platform that will digitally connect the entire shipbuilding process.
“As a leader in industrial AI, automation and digital twin software, Siemens is uniquely positioned to help transform how shipyards design, build and sustain the next generation of vessels,” said Tony Hemmelgarn, President and CEO of Siemens Digital Industries Software.
“This strategic collaboration is about more than technology deployment, it’s about establishing a repeatable blueprint for modern shipbuilding. By combining Siemens’ digital capabilities with HD Hyundai’s operational excellence, we can help shipbuilders improve throughput, quality, and workforce productivity while strengthening global shipbuilding competitiveness.”
The platform is envisaged to integrate the entire shipbuilding process, from vessel design and production to supply chain management, quality control and maintenance, as well as sea trials, into a single 3D-model-based data environment powered by AI and digital technologies, enabling the use of consistent information across every stage
